Christmas Matters

“Christmas Matters offers a welcome twist on Advent devotionals as it takes the reader on an insightful journey through the words and works of Jesus in the 24 chapters of the Gospel of Luke. The Christmas climax on the 25th day uses John 1 to underscore the mystery and marvel of the incarnation of the Son of God. The Process, Prayer, and Promise section at the end of each day effectively encourages the user to personally apply the principles developed on each of the 25 days. This is a great tool to prepare us for the coming of the Lord into space-time history and into our lives.” —Kenneth Boa, President, Reflections Ministries, Omnibus Media, and Trinity House Publishers “We are invited to know the love of Jesus for us on every page of this warm, engaging, and relatable devotional filled with life-giving gospel truths and promises. Read these as daily encouragement for your own heart or with your teenagers at Christmas and process together how Jesus matters for each of us every day.” —Susan Crenshaw, First Lady, Young Life “God’s Word teaches us that ‘as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.’ As Christmas approaches year after year, we easily find ourselves far from the things on which we need to be focused. Using Anna’s and Katy’s Christmas devotional is a great aid in adjusting that focus. Christmas Matters is a short, to-the-point, and engaging read. It is a tremendous resource to add to your daily time with God for the 25 days leading up to Christmas.” —Randy Pope, Founding Pastor, Perimeter Church; President, Life on Life Ministries “A jewel of a devotional book that reaches past the clutter and busyness of Christmas and speaks to the heart of the holiday. I plan to use it every December.” —Emily Carpenter, best-selling author of Burying the Honeysuckle Girls “Christmas Matters is a gift to the reader—a fresh perspective on a story we know so well but sometimes forget how life-changing it is. Using scriptural insights, personal anecdotes, and godly wisdom, Anna and Katy take us on a journey from the anticipation of the Messiah to
